Who doesn’t love surprises? I know I do 🙂 And I just want to share an unexpected treat that Ito and I received yesterday. My good, good friend and Fine Arts classmate, Cynthia Bauzon-Arre, surprised us with these dreamy watercolor renditions of our recent fashion shoot which she posted on her Instagram account… My good friend @tippiocampo recently posted a picnic-inspired fashion spread on her blog (tippiocampo.com) and I found the collection and models so pretty that I thought of drawing a couple of poses for tonight’s #watercolor exercise. The clothes are based on Tippi’s designs and the drawings...

Fashion “Al Fresco”

Taking inspiration from our recent jaunts, I find nothing imbibes a youthful spirit and unstudied elegance quite like the timeless apron dress. At a time when people are getting off the fast-lane-to-nowhere and are rediscovering the beauty of strolling the gracious-and-scenic-route-to-everywhere, it’s a reminder that taking the road less traveled, and celebrating each milestone along the way, should still be done in style! 😉 Navy blue lace gown with lace appliqué straps, b&w halter maxi dress with layered skirt : Tippi Ocampo/ Model friends: Katarina Rodriguez & Pau Alberto/ Hair & make-up: Kit Bautista / Photos: Ito Ocampo Bookmark...

Summer may well be over, but what lingers on is its delightfully relaxed vibe, much like the feeling of good friends (both old and new) coming together to let their hair down and simply enjoy each others’ company.

Putting It Together

Finally! After obsessing over my baskets (read Diary of a Picnic Basket) for the better part of the summer, we recently went on another road trip up North and got to put them to use. Preparing a picnic, like preparing an outfit, is best when it’s effortlessly–but not haphazardly–put together. Thankfully, even though weather forecasts predicted thunderstorms in Baguio, we were greeted with sunshine and cool weather for our baskets’ first foray. The cool temperatures and scent of pine were a welcome change from Manila’s heat These vintage-print denim culottes that I designed were perfect for lounging outdoors For...

Tips On a Picnic*

Dining al fresco is probably one of my most favorite things to do and with Ito’s and my fondness for road trips, a picnic just takes it a step further by allowing us to literally dine al fresco anywhere (read Putting It Together). So what are some of the things to consider when planning a picnic? First thing would be the weather, and it’s not just the rain we need to watch out for. Extremely hot & humid days make for a very uncomfortable experience as well. A weather app is our BFF when planning to dine outdoors! Next,...
